I've never pledged to kickstarter before. If I donate and claim my reward, and for some bizarre reason (and I mean bizarre, because how could this thing NOT reach it's goal?!), the kickstarter did not meet its goal, does this mean that I don't get the reward or nothing happens and I just get my money back?

That'd be so cool to get an a book of his art!!!

This sounds interesting, I probably won't donate, but I hope that this will reach it's goal!
Dreams, dreams are untapped and writhing. How much more real are dreams than that paltry existence which we now call reality? How shall we ascend to that which humanity is destined? By mastering the dreamworld of course. That is how, my pupils, that is how.

You are not charged unless the Kickstarter reaches its goal, and will not receive a reward unless it does either.

. . . Here I was, politely waiting to make sure people were okay with it before I made a post advertising the thing.  And I got scooped!

Well, thank you!  If you didn't see those other posts, I'm one of the people who set up the Kickstarter.  We're VERY grateful for the support: it doesn't even have to be a pledge, just a mention like this where there's community around one of the worlds Gary illustrated.

Thank you likewise for putting it on the wiki.  I didn't know whom to contact for that.  Just one question: first five books?  The wiki says six, ending at Martin the Warrior.  Wikipedia, somehow, says three, likewise including Martin the Warrior.  I asked Gary himself and he couldn't remember the right number!  (We'll know for sure once he's scoured his originals.)

Yes, Captain Tammo, LordTBT has explained it.  That's why we need help both with pledges and with spreading the word, as we are merely halfway to our funding goal now.

And for anyone who's just glancing through, here's the banner for the artbook:


http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1615043334/lone-wolf-the-board-game

That's Lone Wolf - The Board Game art on the right and in the background, and Gun Dogs on the left.  We've been chatting with Gary about not only giving Redwall its due sections, but using pieces as smaller incidental art around the book.  Imagine, say, a little mouse peeking out from the corner of a page or on the cover!

I hope you enjoy!

Sweet! I have no money, but...

I read Lone Wolf choose your own adventure books when I was a kid!

-George Washington

Courage: Not only the willingness to die manfully, but also the determination to live decently.

Hi Richard, I'm the originator of the Redwall Wiki post. Six is correct, I counted too quickly when writing. Post updated.  :)

Hello, all.  Lone Wolf - The Board Game is into its final week with over 2/3 of its funding goal.  Now is the time we most need your help to bring this game to life!

If you don't know what's so interesting about one fantasy world out of many, I wrote an essay that's turned out popular:

http://www.erfworld.com/blog/view/45115/gamebooks-or-why-are-you-playing-that

It's more than just a board game on offer.  We posted about Gary Chalk's artbook before (covering classics like the Redwall series), and we're also offering Autumn Snow, a new official gamebook spin-off of the original Lone Wolf gamebooks.  Since the 1980's, gamers wondered about female "Kai Lords," and the question remained mostly unanswered since Lone Wolf was the last to survive: now Autumn Snow will burst onto the scene!



(Edit: We've made a retraction here.  The project will not include any board game content based on Autumn Snow, but will include her gamebook as stated.)

But the opportunity will be gone after December 5, so please take a look, share your thoughts, share the project, and pledge if you can:

Thank you yet again!

. . . And DONE!  We've finished the campaign for Lone Wolf - The Board Game with full funding and one unlocked stretch goal, all thanks to folks like you.  Thank you very much for your ear, support, and/or patience as we spread the word about this campaign.  Now we begin the work that your money makes possible.

If you're coming across this thread for the first time, you may find more information on the official page:

http://www.lonewolftheboardgame.com

A proper website will be set up there once the game goes on general sale, which we hope to be no later than November 2015.

Thanks for an exciting and successful month.  Onward!
